Taxodus – mapping assets offshore
- mihok 13y agoVery interesting game, and I really like the look/feel of it. Defiantly need more explanation, I have no clue what I'm doing in there!
- nbertram 13y agoThey have this doc with a better backstory http://youtu.be/d4o13isDdfY http://youtu.be/d4o13isDdfY
- vincefutr23 13y agoThe documentary is excellent
- Nrsolis 13y agoI'm not so sure I'm getting what they are trying to say here. Companies have been playing the taxation arbitrage game since the beginning of taxation. Isn't that what states to do each other in the USA? Why do you think FL has no income tax while NY/NJ/CT do? I'm not sure why this belongs on HN.
- nijk 13y agoFL has no income tax because it doesn't want retirees to rip off wage earners. It is clearly not a play to attract portable businessz since it has almost none.
- otikik 13y agoI profoundly dislike the usage of the term "Protecting" in "Protecting your assets", especially when we have a more suitable verb: "Evading". It has the correct connotations too.
- ldng 13y agoTo me it is on purpose corporate speak.
- derefr 13y agoOffshore holdings companies aren't always about tax evasion. Sometimes they're about making sure the presumably very nice person [but also possible gold-digger] you married can't actually spend all your money. That's the sense of "protection" they mean.
- nijk 13y agoIf you don't want someone spending our money, you just don't give to them. You don't need to hide money to accomplish that goal. Marriage is a joint partnership, and anyone is free to not enter into one.
- billybob255 13y agoThat's foolish, there are any number of reasons for keeping money out of a border that aren't evading taxes.
